Hello, hello, hello! In case you haven’t noticed Promptathon 2013 is here and happening!!! July 17th is the deadline for posting prompts. We’re also taking prompts for this month’s banner challenge with deadlines of July 21st for posting prompts and July 26th for responding with banners! Yes, folks, this IS prompting time!

But what, you may be asking, is all the fuss about prompts? How do people go about prompting? How do there come up with their prompts, or find their inspiration? When it comes to filling prompts, how strictly do people stick to them? What grabs people’s attention? Why are people so excited???

And then you might have specific questions to this promptathon: Can I use more than one prompt in one fill? Do fills have to be fics, or can they be other things like art, fanmixes, icons, wallpapers, and so on? If a prompt has already been filled can I still fill it as well? (To which the answers are: yes, yes, and yes!)

New to this bar or never done a promptathon before? HELLO! You have so much fun ahead :D Say hi and someone will fetch you a drink.

Bring your ideas and thinky thoughts (for which we have much love!), your questions (there is no such thing as a silly question!), your excitement and enthusiasm (I love everyone in this bar!) because IT’S PROMPTATHON TIME.


ATTF will now be on hiatus until after promptathon has finished. Keep your eyes peeled for a new sign up sheet coming to a comm near you soon.

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)
